The library probably hates me

It's project time in school, and I don't even know why I reserved some books at the library for Enviro class since the project isn't due for another, like, month and a half. I did for English because she's a slave-driver and if I don't have my sources by next week, I will fail to turn in a detailed outline. Speaking of outlines, I didn't do my mini-outline correctly, which apparently surprised her. It's not like I had the extra two days to work on it and hear what she wanted on the stupid thing exactly like everyone else in my class did.

I'm so going to fail this whole research assignment, especially if she makes us present. Ugh.

I'm going to this peace rally (?) tomorrow in front of Prince of Peace. Kristen asked me to go, and I really wasn't planning on doning anything else, so I was like "Sure, why not?" My dad asked me if it was a protest or a demonstration, and to my knowledge it is not; besides, I don't think they hold protests in front of churches, unless said church somehow interfered with peace? And it's going to be so cold tomorrow! I might just sit in my car and watch everyone else stand on the corner holding signs.

God, it sounds like I have ADD in this post.

Vacations are getting overrated

So my Chemistry teacher won't slow down to explain what half the class missed last week since they were all gone for the two days we had school last week. And they includes me. So I don't know which elements are metalloids, I had to copy a lab, and there's a quiz with things that we probably learned last week tomorrow.

Then in English, she assigned another chapter of reading on the Scarlet Letter and expects us to check Edline to know this. Oh, and we got a quiz with questions from that chapter on it. She also says we need five sources for our research paper by Wednesday, and that was yesterday. I still need three more resources, and do you know the small amount of essays critiquing Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? that isn't a play or movie review?

Let me tell you the number is very, very small.

God, Ohio is so damn cold

Got back into Cincinnati on Friday night from Orlando, and Jesus is it cold up here. Meh, whatever. Thanksgiving was nice, my brother's roommate made all of the food, and it was apparently the first time she's ever seriously cooked a meal, so you can only guess the sort of apprehension everyone had. It was good, though, but all I eat is turkey, mashed potatoes, and rolls. Oh, rolls are nearly orgasmic.

...Forget you read that.

I'm going back to school tomorrow, but it's only a half-day on Friday, so that's nice because Kathleen wants to do something about Power Rangers. That'll be fun.

I'm listening to Peaches by Presidents of the United States of America. "I'm moving to the country, going to eat a lot of peaches..." If only life were so care-free. D:

Girl drama is so funny

I'm watching some Real World: Sydney marathon or something, and it's 100 times better than the regular show because it's through Coral-vision. Yes, Coral. She is probably the best thing to come out of this entire Real World/Road Rules franchise because she's freaking hilarious. Evan and Kenny (he's from Fresh Meat, I think. I don't care) can just go away; Coral's funny enough by herself.

Oh, and KellyAnn's a whore. I'm reading this episode summary, and apparently she calls Parisa a slut or something. Which is so hypocritical since she was all over Dunbar in episode 1 even though he had a girlfriend, which he said was the first girlfriend of his to be serious and he didn't want to "ruin it," but he made out with the ho anyway. Okay, Dunbar, if you don't want to cheat on Julie, that's fine. It's just, next time, try not to do it on national television.

EDIT: Okay, I'm really confused. This post is messed up for whatever reason.

Oh, television

I'm sitting here waiting for the final episode of Code Geass' first season to download on my computer. The remaining time just keeps fluctuating, and it might just give me a headache if I stare at it long enough.

I'm also waiting for the Amazing Race to premiere on CBS. But of course stupid football delayed the schedule, so 60 Minutes is going on forever, which is really just annoying.

Talking about football, on ESPN whatever show, you know the one where they have four ex-football players that think they're good enough to be show hosts. Yeah, that one. Anyway, I was watching that show, and they ask if some team overpaid some player by giving him 67.5 million dollars for over 6 years. Three out of the four said no.

WHAT. Of course they did. All football players are overpaid. All they do is run around like idiots and hit people, and they're given millions of dollars for that? Why didn't we figure out this quick way to get cash before? Why isn't everyone a football player? Becuase they have real jobs. Along with actors and other sort of "entertainers," they get more money than they deserve. Teachers deserve millions of dollars in salaries per year, because they're the ones prepping our kids for the future. They shape and mold the next President, the next major businessmen, all sorts of potential important people. But no. Where are all our tax dollars going to? Football players.

Foot.
Ball.
Players.

National Honor Society is stupid anyway. The fact that they can just overlook every sort of academic and community service activity I've done and put on that stupid application and just say, "No leadership experience, FAIL," is simply unbelievable. What, so if I work really hard on finding the cure for cancer, but never ever have any sort of leading force in the development of it, I don't get the credit? No. I get the credit, because I still did something.

I can gurantee you that half of the people who got inducted this morning will never lead anything while in National Honor Society. But the fact that they could twist words into making it seem that at one point sometime in their lives that they could have "lead" someone or someones, then that's good enough. So if I wrote, "lead 5th graders in tuning their instruments for an elementary strings concert," I would've made the cut? No. That's stupid. A leadership role is where you are consistently the voice of reason and people listen to that voice. Not just the one-time deals I'm sure several of the inductees wrote down. And if that's the case, I'm glad I'm not in the stupid organization.

Plus, who would want to volunterr 20+ hours and go to required meetings after school every now and then anyway? It's like, maybe I already have something important to do, but if I don't go to the meeting, I'll be kicked out?

No thanks. Me and Kristen will just hang out and have a life while everyone else at our lunch table is off being overachievers.
